anyone who has been following my posts on this forum knows that this is the fight i have been begging for since day 1. this is the rubbermatch that HAS to happen. it is destiny.. it was all a matter of timing. the time is now. let's not kid ourselves. bj penn and matt hughes are two of the best fighters that have ever lived in MMA and they are living legends in this sport. 10 years in the future fans will look back on bj penn vs matt hughes as the greatest MMA trilogy fight that ever existed.

I don't think BJ looked fine in the first Edgar fight at all,
he was slow, unmotivated and off his game.
Hell, he was training 3x a week for the Edgar rematch.

So a slow, unmotivated and off his game BJ was able to take an in form Frankie Edgar to a decision that in no way should have been unanimous? Don't be silly, BJ was ready and fought hard against a better LW.

Based on what? In the last 2 years he's faced every top LW contender the UFC has thrown at him and destroyed all bar one, he done this while being in the best shape mentally and physically he has ever been in.

No doubt it will be a competitive fight. But as you would expect we're slightly biased
I'm stoked for thsi fight and BJ said at an event thsi week that he isn't going to talk a lot of smack because he's tired of eating his own words.

going ot be a great fight! Then both guys can enjoy the holiday afterwards.
